Well I was walking to the gym for badminton and it started raining and my racket got wet...the racket and string seem fine, but I was wondering what's going on with the grip as it seems more squishy near the bottom. Is it possible that water gin in under the grip and would this cause the wood of the handle to rot? If so what should I do?

you should air it out. let the water evaporate.

remove the grip and blow dry it ;)

Remove the grip, air it out. If it's still damp, put it next to a heater. I mean, blow drying works alright too. :D Tell me how that works. Mine worked when I did that.

Wow I tried removing my (original) grip and as soon as I take the tape on top off, I find the there is a tiny staple on the top holding the grip to the racket O_I

So you're going to let the tiny stapple defeat you?

Fake racket? What kind is it and what are the serial and cone codes?

Lots of rackets have the staple on them...

Almost all the yonex I saw, has the staple to hold the original grip. ;)

Well I don't want to take the staple out or rip off the grip

I do beleive it is a genuine arc10

So my question is would it be sufficient to blow dry the handle or are more extreme measures required

Just take the staple off you wuss, it's not going the harm the racket 1 way or another. The racket probably doesn't need to be blow dryed anyways.

haha, well said :p:p
